Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

Great one. Kits duet is really inspired. Space curdles out with noise but gets jester's hat nightmare with vocal pranks. Beautiful long bluesy intro

Got that chonky gospel garage kick... Lead vocal fanning and gorgeous Strat, wah-ed weir, classical Keith.

Fountainously inventive and chromatic spiralling fountains of passages of chamber flow, interspersed with volcanic spheres of columnic stillness in antithetical cannon arcs of jellied view. Essential rubato phil, much wackazoid space and feelin' groovy.

pretty certain this is from the night prior, just listened to 6/19 recently. But right you are it's a great version.
